10 Second Review
From the library summary:
" Sampson, George, and Rameck came from the tough neighborhoods of Newark, New Jersey, where survival, not schoolwork, was the priority. They made a friendship pact, deciding together to take on the biggest challenges of their lives: going to college, then medical school. Along the way they made mistakes, faced disappointments, and nearly failed, but by working hard, finding positive role models, resisting negative influences, and supporting each other at every turn, they achieved their goals."

A good, easy read which offers practical advice without sounding preachy.
This is a good choice for teens that need some encouragement.
